Deshawn Laporte Has Career Rushing Day
On Friday, Burbank got the W thanks in part to Deshawn Laporte playing the best football he has all season. Laporte rushed for 97 yards and three touchdowns on only six carries, and also threw for 135 yards and two touchdowns, good enough to set a new career-high in rushing yards in the process.

Leonidas Grant Crosses Big Stat Threshold
Leonidas Grant posted a new career-high in rushing yards on Friday. He rushed for 119 yards and four touchdowns on only ten carries. Thanks to that strong showing, he's now averaging 2.2 rushing touchdowns per game. He is becoming a predictor of Crescenta Valley's success: when he posts at least two rushing touchdowns the team is 2-1 (and 2-3 when he doesn't).
On the year, Grant has run in 9 touchdowns while averaging 108.5 rushing yards per game. He is looking even better than he did last year: after four games last season, he was only averaging 4.5 rushing yards per game.
